第25题考察全文主旨。需要考虑各段中都有所涉及的中心话题。本文第一段首句是个问句How can the train operators possibly justify yet another increase to rail passenger fares? 大意是“列车营运商如何能为铁路客运票价的再次上涨辩解?”属于开篇引出话题;二段首句提到“ such increases...再次复现主题词“票价上涨”,后面两段虽在开头讲到strikes,但还是主要围绕“费用上涨,旅客却没有得到应有服务” 以及“如果铁路继续涨价,将会导致国有化”,故正确答案D是原文的正确总结。选项A的strikes只在后两段提到,不能概括文章主旨。 选项B 中的Constant Complaining Doesn’t Work“不断抱怨没有用”,属于反向干扰。选项C的Nationalization“国有化”,也只是来自最后一段的内容,故排除。
第30题是更直白的主旨题,做题更明显。文章主旨往往在文章开头去找,第一段最后一句一开始就提到了the country 's antipoverty program国家的脱贫计划,后面提到了这个计划对环境的影响,比如说第三段第一句But the CCT programs don't generally consider effects on the environment.所以是选A 一个项目的影响。
第35题也是主旨题,也可以用技巧。根据全文脉络,B. When did the Victorians start to view photograph differently?什么时候维多利亚人开始对照片有不同的看法?属于细节信息;C. What made photograph develop slowly in the Victorian period? 什么使得照片在维多利亚时期发展缓慢?属于无中生有;A. Why did most Victorians look stem in photographs?为什么大多数维多利亚人在照片上看起来很严肃?及D. How did smiling in photograph become a post-Victorian norm?照片中的微笑怎么会成为,后维多利亚时代的标准?当中不难看出文中并没有说“如何”,而是在解释“原因”。因此正确选项A。二段提出问题我们如何解释大部分维多利亚人在照片中在背景画面前僵硬地摆着姿势,或者茫然地望着中间的距离?所以接下来说明原因。
